Against Durham and Derby we revealed our new approach to batting whereby we have gone from the one extreme of thinking innings' in four day cricket only last fifty overs as we get bowled out for something in the region of 150 to 260 to believing we are batting in one of those old timeless tests that were supposed to go on until there was a result - so, we've been scoring the same sort of totals as we used to do, but are taking two and three times longer to do so!
Finally, what on earth possessed Glamorgan to prepare a spinning pitch for the last four days when we have what is, almost certainly, the least threatening collection of spinners in county cricket? Just how bad we are when it comes to spin bowling can be seen by the fact that there was one over of spin bowled in the ninety two overs of Derbyshire's first innings and the additional spinner we picked (Morgan) did not bowl a single over in the game, neither did Ingram whose leg spin has probably taken more wickets than any other Glamorgan spinner in all forms of the game over the past three seasons - I wouldn't be susprised if Wagg's two second innings wickets came from him bowling slow left arm either.
